Chapter 257: The Opponent He Forced Out
Everyone listened with a golden light in their eyes, and they realized that a new era of water warfare might be ushered in.
"Revolution, this is definitely a major innovation. Set up a special committee to study the 'cone ice strike'. We will do whatever it takes to maximize the effects of this tremendous innovation as soon as possible. Elma is the chairman of the committee and is fully responsible. "Pope Peter acted decisively and did not drag his feet.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates must do their best!" Elma was pleasantly surprised, the Pope's decision meant that she could get away with it. Therefore, he immediately answered with great excitement and sonorous force.
Go on. Pope Peter was satisfied with Elma's attitude, and his tone couldn't help but soften a little.
"Yes! The enemy commander is also good at guessing the minds of others. When they used fire magic to stir up a thick mist of water for the second time, we thought they would launch the same iceberg attack. Our attention is focused on the sea. Who knows, this time, the attack they launched came from the sky. Alas, it is also our carelessness. From the past attacks, we should realize that this terrible opponent will never use the exact same attack pattern. It's just that I'm still thinking about it. If this attack is not the final blow, then when the opponent appears to create the same mist, I still can't figure out what kind of attack the opponent will launch, whether it is an iceberg, a huge arrow and a cobblestone, or is there a new move? Therefore, this shrewd commander will not stop at the physical level of attacking his opponent again!" Elma recalled. Until now, there is still a feeling of lingering palpitations.
"This is really a rare talent!" Pope Peter sighed with infinite emotion, "I heard that all these exiled pirates were forced by you to do it as a last resort, right?" Pope Peter turned to a cold face and asked Constantine solemnly.
"This, this ....... Your Majesty, they're all damned infidels......" Konstantin was flustered and a little incoherent.
"Heretic, hmph, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Some people are probably dissidents, right?"
Pope Peter's words were calm and cold, but they undoubtedly sounded like five thunderbolts in Konstantin's ears. He knew that the Pope was by no means untargeted, and there must be the Pope's eyeliner by his side. With a "poof", Konstantin knelt nervously. "Your Majesty, if your subordinates are not strict, you deserve death!" He is also an extremely shrewd person, knowing that denial cannot be denied, so he simply puts most of the blame on his subordinates.
"Alas, sad! Maybe such a military genius was originally from my Church of Light. It is our own people who have pushed such talents into the arms of the enemy!" Pope Peter's words were full of pathos and unwillingness.
Hearing this, even the five cardinals knelt down in horror, and together with their top superiors, they trembled and said, "Subordinates should be damned!"
"Get up. It has come to this point, and even if you die, it will be irreparable. I'll keep your little life in mind for the time being. I hope that in the future, you will be able to serve our religion with all your heart and dedication, so as to atone for your sins. "What a Pope Peter, frightened, and pulled, he created five great masters for the Church of Light.
"Pass my orders and check at all costs. Find out who the commander of this naval battle really is. And try to find out the details of this person. Pope Peter announced the order with a serious expression.
"Yes! We will obey Your Majesty's decree!" all replied in unison.
"Are there any other questions?" the most important thing has been learned, and the gains are not small, so Pope Peter spoke kindly. This question is really just a routine matter.
"Your Majesty, after our lucky return from the deep sea. It was discovered that all the bases of the Church of Light in the Southwest Continent had changed hands. What the hell is going on?" the cardinals, as senior local leaders, have actually developed a deep affection for the southwestern continent where they have been stationed for a long time. They all wanted to know what was going on with the Southwestern Continent, so they brought out Teutonic as a representative to ask.
"What's going on?" Hmph, it's not because of your incompetence that the defense of the southwest region is empty, giving the enemy an opportunity!" said Pope Peter angrily.
Hearing this, everyone bowed their heads in shame. Because, except for the Pope, all of you here are participants in the Great War. Whether it was a high-altitude master duel or a collision of thousands of troops and horses on the sea, they all lost. The master in the sky, if it is not for the mercy of the opponent's subordinates, then he will end up with the same annihilation as the army at sea. Shame, it is a shame that will not be washed away in their lives.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to atone for our sins and retake the Southwest Continent!" said Teutonic with a swear.
"Fools, don't you think you're ashamed enough?" said Pope Peter, angrily.
The chill that swept over made everyone suddenly silent. But even so, they still showed strange expressions.
"Not convinced?" No need to answer, from everyone's expressions, Pope Peter already knew what they meant, so he continued, "Let me ask you, if you really go on an expedition, then with the same military strength as the entire southwest continent, can you be sure of winning?"
Just kidding, with the same strength, they were just beaten and fled. Now, the opponent who has won a big victory, after taking over all the resources they hastily left in the southwest continent, will definitely grow in strength. Now, to challenge again with the strength that can't beat others in the first place, isn't this purely looking for abuse?
Everyone present shook their heads in understanding.
"Let me ask you again, how much military strength does our Church of Light have like the Southwest Continent?"
All the people gathered were the high-level leaders of the Church of Light, and they were naturally clear about the power of the Church of Light. Except for this loss, all other forces added up will not exceed five times the strength of the Southwest Continental Army. The remaining actual area under control is six times that of the southwestern continent.
"Originally, our military strength was a bit stretched. If you want to go on a campaign, you have to win. And if you want to win, you must at least twice the military strength of the Southwest Army. If you want to counterattack, you must seize the best opportunity when Fang is not stable, so you must be fast. Far water can't quench the thirst of the near. In such a situation, the only way to do this is to draw troops from the central region. ”
Everyone is still a little unclear, so they will be withdrawn. As long as you can defeat a strong enemy, why not?
